Thanks for your words of encouragement! I'm only a few days in, but I will post an update sooner or later. Is it a bad idea to just rinse my hair in water until I feel the need to do a baking soda shower? Also, does washing my hair only every few days mean I shouldn't get it wet at all?
Hey all,
My name is Matt, I'm 22 years old, and have thought about getting dreads for a few years now. I grew my hair out when I was 20 in the hopes of dreading naturally, but ended up talking myself out of it. All of my friends are of the opinion that I will look stupid, won't be able to keep a steady job, and that my hair type isn't suitable for dreads. I've read a lot of posts and looked at tons of pictures on this site. I need a bit of a confidence booster and some reassurance that my friends are wrong. Here are a few pictures of me...do you guys think I would look good with dreadlocks?! My hair isn't as long as in these pictures, but it is well on its way.
P.S. - It's great to find a website and community that is so passionate about dreadlocks.
- Matt
